"My master will never forgive you! Never!" the snake woman let off a final shriek before she was completely devoured.

Cian’s group trembled at the sight of her being eaten. The souls then flew through the air before proceeding to disappear into the palace.

"What just happened, sir?" Cian's eyes were wide with disbelief. Everything he had just witnessed could not be explained through science.

Adrian heaved a sigh of relief and looked at his surroundings. "She was never a being from this world, but merely a seal."

"A seal?" Cian exchanged looks with the others.

These monsters were a part of a seal, existing in the real world based on myths.

Adrian nodded. "They were sealing all those souls you saw. Those souls had suffered endless torment. When I struck her with her own weapon, the souls rushed out of the sword and feasted on her body. But strange… How do I know all this?"

He was confused. Everything he said came out very naturally, and his subconscious was thinking the same.
